Background:
A tall, slender elf with the deepest blue, almost violet eyes. His hair and skin as white as the snowy peaks of his homeland. Aenthurien is a snowcaster elf, at the age of 124 years old, he is a child of the far northern wastes.
Hailing from the region where the Worldwound, the Realm of the Mammoth Lords, and the Far North intersect, Frostmire Seeker, as he is known to people outside his tribe, spent his early life secluded from the outside world. Living among his tribe, he spent his days roaming the Tusk Mountains and the lower surrounding regions, and his nights listening to the stories of his elders. Living an isolated, charmed life, the elf wanted for nothing.
Before his adolescence began, stories would be told of foul, mockeries of nature being sighted to the southeast, and tales a of horrendous rent in the earth in that region. Sometimes he remembers a time of storms, the likes that the tribe had never seen before, but as he aged, though became the lost memories of youth.
As he grew into adulthood, he became known for his woodland and tracking skills and would often be apart of roving parties sent out to hunt and keep an eye on the Worldwound. Over the years, he saw the influence of Abyss begin to creep into the creatures and the land when he ventured east. As he saw this influence, and the crusades of the other races, to battle the abomination of the Abyss, he would go the tribe’s elders, entreating them, that something must be done, that action was necessary. The tribe always deemed it more safe to continue with their traditional isolated life and let the other races take care of the problem, for it was the other races’ fault it happened to begin with.
As could be foreseen, eventually the cruelness of the Worldwound crept into the secure lives of the snowcaster elves. Coming back from a hunting expedition, and unbeknownst to Aenthurien, a group of demons had trailed the elf and upon his return to the village, attacked and decimated the tribe. Over half of the tribe was killed, including some of the elf’s family. After the tribe finally overcame the demons and the tribe was making preparations to move to another, more secluded sight, it was decided, that Aenthurien, who willingly volunteered for the task, would travel to the lands of the humans and the crusades. Once there, he would learn what he could of fighting demons and staunching the hemorrhaging Worldwound.
Over the course of a year, Aenthurien traveled south through the lands of the mammoths, turned east, once he was far from the Worldwound, and skirting through Numeria, came to Mendev. Along the way, he had a multitude of new experiences and revelations. Arriving in Nerosyan, he spent a few months in the city, trying to learn what he could about fighting demons and how bad the threat had truly become. It was here he met an elderly alchemist who took him in for a short time. Learning a bit of the alchemical arts and bit of fighting demons, the elf felt he needed more firsthand experience. Being told, he could learn more in Kenabres, the elf packed his few belongings, bid the man farewell and headed north.
Arriving in Kenabres, the elf saw for the first time, the true horror wrought by the Worldwound. Among the myriad people and chaos of the city, the witch hunters, the zealots, the soothsayers, and the constant stream of wounded and maimed cruaders, Aenthurien realized the true threat to the world the Worldwound was. Galvanized into action from what he saw, the snowcaster began making excursions to the battle front, using his skills to sneak in and out.
On one such occasion, the naive elf found himself behind enemy lines. Looking to sneak away unnoticed, Aenthurien found himself face to face with a group of cultists. Seeing no way to elude their notice, Aenthurien was reaching for his bow when a woman appeared out of nowhere. He could not fathom where she had come from, but she put a calming hand on his shoulder and told him that it was not the time for fighting. Following the woman’s lead, the two were able to talk their way past the the cultists. Soon after the woman left him near the outskirts on Kenabres, disappearing into a nearby wood. Soon after, a patrol of crusader came by and escorted the rash youth back to the city.
The woman never told Aenthurien her name, but at night, when he closes his eyes, he remembers her beauty, and the deep sadness he sensed about her. He remembers that she carried a bow as one with skill would and she had the symbol of Desna displayed prominently, often clutching it during the route back to Kenabres. Since that night, he has found himself lucky when he is most in need. Bewildered by the what he has encountered so far, the elf is trying to get his bearing and decide how to proceed.
